barney?

yu xi's birthday is coming soon. i know she likes barney but mommy here don't like. i give instructions to everyone who will possibly get her a birthday present not to buy barney for her.

 

am i being unfair and evil to her? yu ze gets to get his favourite thomas but i'm not giving yu xi her favourite barney. she already needs her tutu, 2 bolsters with blue Winnie the pooh design only and a barney DVD to sleep. do i seriously and really want to get her barney to add on to her bedtime need?

 

i'm still not very convinced to get her a barney though it will be her best and favourite present. well, i shall think about it again since i still have a bit of time.

booster jab

today is our anniversary. we didn't have any plan for it. we going to bring the 2 for their booster jab for pneumococcal at kk in the afternoon. pick them up from school and head down to kk. 

yu xi is ‎23 months old, 10.8kg and 80.9cm at her 25-50 percentile range. yu ze is 43 months old, 12.4kg and 90cm. he is still growing at his usual 3 percentile rate. pd says both are well and ok. as long as they are active, eating well, i shouldn't be bother by their size. most important is their health which i agree 100%. ok. if i want to 'fatten' yu ze up then give more proteins and fats. his output could be higher than input so not putting on weight.

yu ze cry when jab and keep whining pain pain after that. took a while to stop and we bought him 'duck' (thomas's friend) to compensate his 'pain'.

yu xi also cry but stop almost immediately cos the nurse give her a pack of biscuit. this is how she works, immediately forget about the pain once there is food.

pet-te-nal

i never understand why and what make him thinks a caterpillar is call 'pet-te-nal' instead of caterpillar. no matter how i correct him, he still called it 'pet-te-nal'. finally, he stops calling it, 'pet-te-nal' and change it to caterpillar. i teased him to ensure its not a by chance and he really mean caterpillar.

me: yu ze, what is this? (pointing to leapfrog caterpillar)

yu ze: caterpillar.

me: no, its 'pet-te-nal'

yu ze: caterpillar

me: no, its 'pet-te-nal' not caterpillar

yu ze: no, its caterpillar.

now that he realise his mistake for caterpillar, next animal will be horse. he keeps calling them zebra instead of horse though they belongs to same family and looks the same.
